Vinter Year 502 | Fenrir's haunting howls have ushered in a great and terrible winter. All throughout the valley thick blankets of snow fall and hide away whatever foliage lay beneath. Temperatures plummet throughout the night with gharrish winds that seem to slip through every mortals very bones. Even the Wastelands can feel it, a great chill sweeping up the slopes of the ravine and across the sands during the night. Best to turn your eyes to the Houses for safety if you haven't already, nonpartisans. The lingering dark and shortened days mean nothing but ill for the Valley. It will be a winter to remember, and fight, surely.

Overview

Fimbulvetr is considered primarily an alpine environment. Winter temperatures easily plummet below 0° fahrenheit (-17° celsius) but hang roughly around 20° F (-6° C) during the day time. Furthermore, the days are shorter in the winter months with an average of 7 hours of actual daylight during mid-day. There is always heavy snowfall throughout the Valley and avalanches have been known to occur. The country experiences long winters, with a gradual incline to average Spring temperatures lingering in the 50° F (10° C) range. Due to the high levels of snow, Spring is an incredibly muddy time and landslides are not uncommon around the mountains. Vegetation grows rapidly in the moist conditions, and is lush well in time for spring.

Summer time maxes at 70° F (21° C), with an abundant of local flora and fauna. The spring time is relatively shorter in comparison to Winter, but gives the country some reprieve from the deep cold. Summer tends to be the primary season for both breeding and birthing, and many young faces are seen and celebrated. Autumn comes in as a wolf in sheep's clothing. While the world transforms steadily around them, the temperatures continuously drop until they almost reach Winter temperatures. Autumn lingers just below the average of Spring temperatures, and are heavily rainy with intermittent snowfall.
